Black Flash / Cleave
-In the Principal's Office-
'Divergent Fist, he attacks physically, and after a delay, there is a second shockwave at the point of contact. He did not move physically, so I assume that it was a mana blast, but all the sources say that he has no mana.'
'And then there's the slashing attack, Dismantle, as far as I have seen, it slashes monsters in cubical divisions, so can he change the shape of slashes? It is seen that he can completely slash through D-Rank monsters, so what about C-Rank monsters?'
'He also seemed to be testing his attacks, which shows that he might also have other techniques that may be stronger than these.'
'So many questions piled on top of each other'
'Ryomen Sukuna, just who- no, just what are you?'
'I guess I'll be meeting you soon then . . .'

-Training Grounds-
"You All Will Spar With Each Other"
Some students seemed excited and some anxious.
The top 5 as well as a few other students instantly snapped their heads towards Sukuna, thinking the same thing, 'How strong is he?' and 'Can I beat him?'
haha, no
*ahem*
"The spars will be decided by lots"
The faces of a few darkened as they looked down, they wanted to spar with Sukuna to make him let out his true strength.
The instructor brought a box with papers with names of students and picked two randomly.
"Spar 1, [fodder 1] and [fodder 2], go into the arena"
[fodder 2] won the spar, but came out exhausted, there wasn't much of a difference between the two.

"Spar 5, Ryomen Sukuna and Johan Charon, go into the arena"
Johan wore a stupid grin as he jumped into the middle of the arena glaring at Sukuna, as Sukuna leisurely walked in front of him and stood with hands in his pockets.
Everyone was watching attentively as all of them were interested in Sukuna's powers, and a spar between the top ranks are not to be missed.
Sukuna said loudly enough for everyone to hear, "I'd prefer the Rank 2, but I guess I'll have fun with berserk boy instead"
Then he walked to Johan and whispered into his ear, "Everyone's watching, I'm gonna flex a little", and walked back to his place.
Johan had an enraged expression as he readied himself to pounce upon the leisurely standing boy.
On Sukuna's body, tattoos slowly started appearing, this slightly confused everyone, but they overlooked it.
"Begin"
As soon as the signal was given, Johan rushed to Sukuna and tried to punch him, but the latter just dodged to the side at a very high speed, leaving Johan enraged.
'He's fast, but I think I can deal with that speed' thought many students
"Oi that had a lot of force, but it's not enough" said Sukuna mockingly.
Johan sent a few more punches, it looked like a kid rushing into battle, but they were actually calculated and each one had a very large force.
Sukuna dodged a few and blocked the others by coating his palm with cursed energy, but he didn't attack back.
"More"
This continued for a few more seconds
"MORE"
The spectators were in awe and Johan was looking at him as if he was going to kill his whole family, pick up his ancestors from their graves and crush their bones before he calms down. Sukuna decided to end it.
"It was fun, but now I'm bored"
Sukuna started counterattacking with a divergent fist, he punched Johan's chest but nothing happened, the students were watching this awkwardly, but after a delay of 1 second.
*BOOM*
Johan was pushed back by a force.
Everyone was very intrigued and a few, feared him.
Sukuna continued doing this for a while, but suddenly, he stopped and stood there in a trance-like state.
Everyone was confused at this action, but Johan wasted no time, he saw him just standing there and attacked with a fist to his chest.
Sukuna remained motionless, this made almost everyone anxious, until, at the last moment, he had a huge grin on his face.
He deflected the punch and rushed towards Johan, making a fist and trying to drive it into his chest.
But it was different this time, everyone felt a feeling of unease from that fist, then the fist started emitting black sparks.
"Black
.
.
.
FLASH"
As Sukuna said this, the fist was driven into Johan's chest, an overwhelming flash of black light was seen, and he was sent flying out of the arena into the wall.
Everyone looked at the body of Johan as the medical team picked him up and took him away. When they looked at Sukuna, he was standing there looking at his fist for a few seconds, then he walked away with his hands in his pockets and returned to his position.
"Winner! Ryomen Sukuna!"

'There were a lot of notifications, I couldn't check them as Black Flash sent me into 'the zone', so I guess I'll do that right now'
[Successfully performed Black Flash for the first time, Cursed Energy Proficiency+5%]
'Hey hey that's really good, but I guess it's a one-time thing, now I'm really close to unlocking cleave'
[Defeated Johan Charon, EXP +100]
[Level Up, you are now level 2]
'Wait, didn't the system say that I couldn't level up?'
[Distributing rewards, increasing attributes . . .]
[Attributes cannot be increased, calculating other possible rewards]
[Reward: Cursed Energy Proficiency +1%]
'I guess that makes sense, I CAN level up, but instead of the normal increase in strength and such, my cursed energy proficiency increases'
[You have reached 30% Cursed Energy Proficiency, unlocking Cleave']
'Oi oi oi chill, this is too much at once, I'm not complaining though'
[Adding memories of Cleave . . .]
[Done]
[Cursed Energy Proficiency 30.6%]
'I'll have to test this out later today'
'For now, let's go back, I've been standing here for too long staring at my fist'
"Sukuna, next time please don't injure the opponent so badly, our healing mages might be one of the best but there are some injuries even they can't heal" said the instructor.
I just nodded and sat down, closing my eyes.
My hands were hurting really bad, even punching can break my bones apparently. I need to do something about this trash physique.
I got an idea, I don't need to do anything with my physique, Reversed Cursed Techniques will just undo everything that happens to my body. I don't even react to pain due to the effects of [Unshakeable Heart]
I also just realized, but [Sloth] doesn't actually make me lazy. I assume this is because [Unshakeable Heart] interferes with [Sloth], so all [Sloth] does now is to increase my daily sleep requirement.
It makes me want to sleep all the time when I'm idle, but in the middle of battle, or when something interesting is happening, I'm completely normal.
Well, now, nothing interesting should happen in the next month, the tournament is in 4 months, while next month the main characters will be stuck in a wrongly ranked dungeon, but will somehow come back alive, which will make the principal keep an eye out for them.
And obviously, I will fully interfere in this hehe.
